Discussion


View this video to see how to make a post in your discussion group.

A major part of this online unit is your participation in online discussions. Each one of you is part of a small group based on your grade level. This group is who you will be discussing different topics with, asking questions to, and share ideas with. See the list below to find out which group number you are in and who are the other members of your discussion group. Please write your discussion group number on the cover page of the Genetics Unit in your interactive notebook.

Remember to use your netiquette rules and responsibilities that we use in our Digitween project. You need to be respectful, responsible, and a good online citizen.

Here is a rubric you will be scored on for your discussion posts. Here is a Spanish version of the rubric as well.

Below is a list of when you must post in the discussion tab and the topic you need to post about. Each post is described in more detail on the day it is assigned on the tabs to the left. You can always post more often if you would like.

Discussion Assignments:
  • Day 1: 2 Questions or Comments about the Clothing Combo Activity
  • Day 5: Post who you are doing your project on and what traits you are focusing on. Make at least 2 comments on other group member's posts about their projects.
  • Day 7: Post one trait that you know to be dominant and one that you think is recessive. Share your answers and ideas to the following questions:
    • Do you have this trait?
    • Does one of your parents have this trait?
    • What are some interesting traits that you wonder whether or not are dominant or recessive?
